From The Row’s minimalist Zipped Boot 1 to Birkenstock’s ultra-comfy clogs, the shoes I see time and again on my commute to the Who What Wear office got me thinking about which brands in particular are British best sellers, so I took to Instagram to find the shoes that social media’s most stylish are investing in now, and the results might surprise you.As we head further into the depths of winter, top-performing categories are without a doubt flat shoes (loafers, trainers and ballet pumps score highly) and, of course, boots (namely ankle and knee-high). So which brands are best at nailing these trending styles? I’ve put…

But the past 12 months have provided all the benchmarks people have come to expect from any single year of moviedom: massive blockbusters (hello, Maverick), surprising flops (sorry, Lightyear), unexpected hits (Sonic the Hedgehog 2?!), and a parade of superheroes. It all added up to a really solid year of entertainment, with fantastic films being made…

Several new series bowled TV critics over in 2022, including Pachinko, Heartstopper, and Severance, to name a few. Meanwhile, others likely had TV critics wishing they were doing something more productive with their time, like cleaning their fridges or getting a jump start on their taxes.

Including a sordid serial-killer saga and a less-than gangbuster Blockbuster comedy, these are the worst-reviewed new shows of the year, according to Metacritic’s ranking. Read The Full…

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death in adults over 65 years old. While many potential treatments for the neurodegenerative disease focus on developing drugs to target key culprits, a relatively new approach aims to more directly treat the brain. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical technique of electrically exciting brain circuits to alleviate symptoms of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Preliminary use of DBS in AD patients has produced mixed results, with variation in cognitive outcomes. These different outcomes may be due to discrepancies in electrode placements across patients. Researchers from Brigham…

During Michelle Obama’s eight years as our first lady, we didn’t get to see her in too many casual outfits—she was much likelier to be photographed in sophisticated Jason Wu dresses. In the years since then, I’ve been reveling in seeing her true personal style shine through. I mean, who could forget those Balenciaga sparkly boots? For her latest outfit, she experimented with the denim trend that’s been surging in popularity: baggy, wide-leg cargo jeans, which are pretty much the antithesis of skinny jeans. Obama wore Ganni’s Rinse Denim Fitted Blazer (£295) and Angi Jeans (£215) to an event in Washington, D.C., promoting her new book, The Light We…

We at WIRED are winding down for the year and gearing up for what is sure to be an eventful 2023. But 2022 isn’t going down without a fight. This week, following a new surge in mayhem at Twitter, we dove into exactly why the public needs real-time flight tracking, even if Elon Musk claims it’s the equivalent of doxing. The crucial transparency this publicly available data provides far outweighs the limited privacy value that censoring would give to the world’s rich and powerful. Unfortunately, Musk’s threats of legal action against the developer of the @ElonJet tracker are having broader chilling effects. Meanwhile, Iran’s…

Batman Returns was a divisive movie on its initial release in 1992. It was the third-highest-grossing film of the year, but it also generated some complaints from fans (and especially parents) who felt the movie was way too dark for its primary audience of kids. Today, it’s more well-liked — but we think it’s still the most underrated Batman movie — and perhaps the single most underrated superhero movie in history.In our latest video, we break down why this is such a good Batman movie — and a great Christmas movie. We look at Tim Burton’s direction, explore how the themes of Christmas tie…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Cretaceous Kings? Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated with animals, both prehistoric and modern.

Documentaries such as, “The Life of Mammals”, Planet Earth”, and the “Future is Wild” also strengthened…
